Lux, Huxley and others ending in X

[wheniwishuponastar]

Ok these are my favourite names....
Lux for a girl (heard it in the Virgin Suicides film - yes, I know not a good reference. But also its Latin for light, and my name means light in another language. I also like Tripp, as in Tripp Fontaine, from the Virgin Suicides. But even I realise this isn't a good one.)
Hux or Huxley for a boy
Obviously I couldn't use both.

My husband doesn't like either. The furthest he will go with "X" thing is Max. Which is quite nice. If a little boring.

My grandfather's name was Basil, which is quite cute. But will probably end up as Baz.

I also really like Van (as in Van Hansis - very beautiful American actor - his full name is Evan).

I also like American names in general: Parker, Madison, Cody.

I realise I am probably coming off as having really horrible taste. But thought I'd better get some feedback to either put me off, or at least air the names.

I was thinking "Lux sucks" but yes, it rhymes with f**ks too. Lots of playground potential, if that bothers you.

Uxue is nice though!

i can't be put off by bad rhymes, i'm afraid! But i am on guard for bad initials. (both me and my hub and his sister and his mum all have horrible initials unfortunately!)

My 5 yr old is Dexter Miles.Yes he is cool.

I love the name Dexter Miles! What colour hair does he have?

Has anyone mentioned Xavier - that's a great name
I love Maximillian (or even Maxwell or Maximus) with the nn Max

Roxanne is fabulous for a girl
I don't think Lux is terrible, it has a nice meaning, but it looks a little bit 'unfinished' - maybe too short?
Xanthe is nice
I like Beatrix

i like Maximus. that's my favourite long version.
glad you like Lux - can't think what the long version would be.

It could be short for any of the Lucy type names:
Lucy
Lucia
Luciana
Lucienne
Lucinda

yes good idea!

Lux is the main girly on telly show called 'Life Unexpected'. Two seasons in still can't adapt to the name!

Great thanks I'll look it up.

Please don't call you DC 'Van'!

I prefer your more American choices, how about:

Scout
Tatum
Avery
Bailey
Cassidy
Summer
Peyton
Morgan
Dylan

or if you still like 'X's, how about Alexa, Xenia or Xanthe?

Hi bambi - I really would if I could! (Van)

what about loxley? I knew a Loxley, thought for ages it was his surname and i asked him one day what his first name was. Yup, it was Loxley.

i really like it but can't remember where its from?

What about Lauchlan?

For a girl Rebecca nn Bex?

Ooh I like loxley a lot!! What did he look like?

Dexter is such a cute name but so popular the moment following on from the TV show. I know there is no x but if you're going along the American line then maybe Regan or Lincoln? Felix is good

Pax to me is a little too close to pox and makes me think of disease :S
However just found out its also the name of the goddess of peace in Roman mythology. Unsure now if you would be use this for a boy or girl?

Loxley - Robin Hood! Love it

I really want to see the tv programme Dexter.
Pax would be a girl.

well he was a friend of my dads so he looked old, but dark hair/sallow skin but a bit of a dodgy moustache. He was tall with an athletic build and may have been very handsome when younger.

His son who is now 17 is turning into a very handsome boy if that helps?

i really like it, if we ever have a boy we'd go with Lauchlan but Loxley would be a close second choice!

Wheniwish-Thankyou! He is 5yrs old and named before the TV series! He has thick brown hair and freckles and I believe he will be quite handsome when he grows up-altho' I could be biased on that!

whenIwish I'm coming to this too late, I know. But my daughter is called Lux. And it's fab. I called her it because of all these reasons, Virgin Suicides, Lux Interior and Latin for light and it suits her perfectly.

Lux is a fabulous name and very cool.

Rex is the best!

I have a Dex. Most people call him Dexy.

I. Love. It!

I'm not sure whether it's him or his name but people never forget him!
